- Howdi,
-
- My problem is this...
-
- I do not know when to "buy from" libraries, and when to "inherit"
- libraries. It seems to me that as the functionality of the class in
- question more and mroe mimicks the functionality of the library class,
- you should inherit that class.
-
- Is this a viable strategum? My apologies if this is a FAQ.
-
- If answers are deemed not worthy of news, please email me (add below).

- Many thanks in Advance,
